wisdom tooth surgery (left)


it was hardcore drilling for about half an hour this morning to get this side of the wisdom tooth out, unlike the right side which felt almost immediately, like 'pop!'.

dr.ong asked how was the healing part of the previous side and i told her i took painkillers after the numbness when off about 3 hours after the surgery, but it had no effect. she said i shuold pop the pills even before the pain comes on. so this time, immediately after the surgery, the nurse gave me a cup of water and i took all the pills there.
*cross fingers* the pain is still bearable till now.

when i was changing the gauze just now, i looked into the mirror and felt that taking out of this tooth had somewhat or another changed my bite! not sure yet though cause i've yet to remove the gauze from my mouth and we'll see again when everything recovers. looks like i've got a better bite, the front teeth are covering the lower set of teeth more! feels like this left tooth has been causing the lower jaw to look more protruding.

also,i thought the tooth on this side looks bigger than the previous!
